1. No, and it's not the amount of money.
World hunger is a more-complex issue than something that can be simply fixed by money. In large part, it is the result of patterns of economic development. The U.S. military connection is not how much is spent on the military, it is rather how the U.S. military is used to support the economic structures that engender greater hunger.
